What could/should i apply for?

Im looking for any info anyone has as to what i might be able to apply for:


I mutually left work at the beginning of September, as id been having problems that were affecting me at work
as part of this, i have been diagnosed with atypical autism

i havnt really been looking for a new job, as ive been coming to terms with what the diagnosis means, & working in finance, there simply arnt many jobs around.
i have picked up a couple of part-time courses to do, & an OU course

im 30, single, & live at home with my father



whats best to do about stuff like NI etc?
is there anything i should apply for?


thanks

    Are you capable of work? Apologies if that's a bit insensitive, but I'm not sure what atypical autism is

    i probably am capable of work, but not just anything

    i had to leave my job for medical reasons, as they couldnt put in place any suitable adaptions to the job that would have helped me

    If you are still capable of work then I would think its JSA you would apply for, but state what work you can and cant do. You wont get any help with the rent though
